Wilson is the best SS to hit the portal this year


I was a little bummed when Tn. snatched the best SS in the portal at the time (Ahuna). That would be something if actually wind up with the best SS.

It jumped 100 pages in about 2 or 3 weeks with all of the portal news.


It took this thread, which started 8/2/21, almost 8 months to get to Project's position breakdown of each recruit starting on page 29. 3 1/2 months later we are on page 202 and we still have 11 days until the draft. TD should seriously send Project a paycheck.

Not to shoot down Project, but I think he would admit that the portal has a lot to do with it. It's turned into a circus, but LSU happens to be doing quite well in it.

The previous regime had really sucked the life out of recruiting interest.

The portal is the easiest thing for the average fan to discuss because the player pool has the most available information.

It's definitely driven the discussion for the last few weeks. I had already said the apathy that set in from the last staff had limited discussion here. This thread is longer than the last two combined and they covered a total of 5 years.

But the portal stepped on the gas pedal. Without the portal every conversation would just turn into people giving thoughts on a particular player and them someone who doesn't know anything coming in and saying "they'll never make it to campus."

I just started contributing to posting at the beginning of this baseball season, but I have followed and read these threads for years now.

The new staff would still have this thread going much more than the last staff did even without the portal. I think it comes down to much more involvement with twitter and every coach recruits, not just 1 guy. A lot of moving parts to follow. Not to mention usually by this time in the year the draft already happened and all the draft speculation has ended.

Same here.

Between the largely poor evaluations resulting in signing kids who some of us knew had no business playing at LSU and the absence of player development under Mainieri and his staff or glorified grad assistants, it was hard to care too much the last couple of years

I wonder when we start to see more guys take their name out of the draft. Just one so far, but there were probably 4 or 5 last year.

I appreciate it, but I'm good because I don't want to be tempted to post it either.

You can pull it down.

This is the one.

All I want is a yay or nay. No need to elaborate on anything.
